Ortho Molecular Products MitoCORE® Protein Blend Lemon overview

MitoCORE Protein Blend is a daily protein and micronutrient powder for adults who want broad nutritional coverage in one drink rather than stacking several separate supplements. It suits people building a steady morning routine, plant-leaning eaters who under-consume animal-sourced nutrients, and anyone rebuilding nutrition after illness, surgery, or an intense training block. The 15 g protein dose is a snack-size contribution rather than a full meal replacement.

The formula combines rice protein with a layered mitochondrial-support stack: acetyl-L-carnitine (which transports fatty acids into mitochondria for energy production), alpha-lipoic acid (a sulfur-containing antioxidant cofactor), and N-acetyl-cysteine (a precursor to glutathione, the body's primary intracellular antioxidant). The B-vitamins are present in their methylated forms (methylcobalamin and methylfolate as Quatrefolic), which the body uses directly. Polyphenols from green tea, broccoli seed extract, and trans-resveratrol round out the antioxidant profile alongside mixed tocopherols.

Mix one scoop into eight to ten ounces of water, milk, or the beverage of your choice once daily, ideally with food. Morning or early afternoon suits most people, since the green tea contributes a small amount of caffeine. Body-composition or nutrient-coverage changes typically settle in over several weeks of consistent use. Pair with extra protein from a meal if you want a fuller post-workout shake.

If you take prescription medications, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic medical condition, talk to your clinician before starting and review the warnings below.

Frequently asked questions

How long until I notice changes?

Most people settle into the formula's energy and recovery profile over the first one to three weeks of daily use. Body-composition or longer-term nutrient effects take longer to evaluate.

Does it contain caffeine?

A small amount, from the green tea extract standardized for EGCG. Most people do not feel jittery from it, but caffeine-sensitive users should take the formula earlier in the day.

Can I use it as a meal replacement?

Not on its own. The 15 g protein is a snack-size dose. For a full meal replacement, add carbohydrate, healthy fat, and additional protein to reach your meal-size targets.

Are the B-vitamins methylated?

Yes. The formula uses methylcobalamin (B12) and methylfolate as Quatrefolic, both bioactive forms.

Is it vegan?

The protein is rice-based, but the vitamin D3 is typically sourced from lanolin, so the formula is not strictly vegan. If you need a fully vegan formulation, look for D2 or vegan-certified D3 products.

Can I combine it with metformin or insulin?

Use caution and monitor your blood sugar. The alpha-lipoic acid component can affect glucose; track as you start and discuss with your prescriber if dose adjustments seem warranted.

With food or without?

With food is preferred. It improves tolerance of the green tea extract and alpha-lipoic acid and helps fat-soluble vitamins absorb.

How to take it & ingredients
